Although it wasmy day off, I was lonely and bored at home, so I decided to go out and stop by the store before getting lunch with Penny. We hadn’t seen each other much over the last couple of weeks, and I needed to fill her in on everything that had happened.
I turned into the downtown square, looking for a parking spot closest to the store. Chris was getting into his truck. I lifted my hand to wave, about to honk my horn, when I saw a woman getting into the passenger side.
Melanie.
They were both smiling and talking as he backed out of the spot.
I’d promised myself that I’d stop being paranoid, that I’d believe in Chris and not make stupid assumptions.
Apparently, I’d lied to myself when I made that promise. Old fears and insecurities rose up into my throat, and my eyes tingled.
